Pours a clear amber with very little white head. The aroma is fruit, hoppy, with some flowers mixed in. This beer’s flavor doesn’t have much kick for an IPA. The hop flavor is pretty subdued, and the remaining flavors is thin and a little sweet. It’s not bad, but I would like more flavor.

One of the better Flying Dog brews. This one knocked me on my but after about 4. Big bold flavor, lots of hoppiness to it, and a little bit fruity towards to end. The after taste is a little more alcohol driven than some IPA’s, but overall, a good beer.

Bottle in Pace, Florida. Great aroma of hops. Nice orange color. Big, fluffy, white head. Sharp hop taste. Very good overwhelming American style IPA. Enough hops to make you cough.

Bottle, pours dark amber/bronze. Soapy sweet grapefruit aroma. Decent full bodied lingering dry hoppy finish. Cool label. Woof woof.

Pours a gold color with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is bitter, with a slight pineapple smell. Taste is about the same, but has some floral characteristics. Has a bit too much malty chewiness.

Golden and pretty much clear in look with an ok head. Hoppy but overally so in an IPA. Not overally bitter which is ok, but not still the right balance needs a little more hoppiness for me.

bottle from bmo encinitas. this is a very friendly ipa and I found the malts quite delicate and balanced into the tangy hops, had sharp but quick to fade grapefruit finish, a pretty nice little ipa

Bottled. Poured clear lighter golden with rising carbonation and an explosive cap of off-white head (we’re talkin’ 90% of the glass!). The aroma was a touch dusty and medicinal with sharp lemon zesty notes over dry bready notes and pale malts.. didn’t really come together. The flavor was along those same lines.. sour to the point of being unbalanced.. mostly pale malts at the core with light floral bitterness around.. warmth brough about more sweetness, but also sharp medicinal notes on the back-end. Medium-bodied with lots of carbonation and lots of sourness on the palate.. rough, unpleasant feel. I’m hoping that this was just an off bottle.
